Q. Consider the following:

1. Cyrus
2. Darius
3. Xerxes
4. Herodotus

Which of the following is the correct chronological order of these historical figures based on their reigns?
Answer: 1 2 3 4
Notes: Cyrus the Great reigned from 558 to 530 B.C. and was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire. His successor, Darius I, ruled from 522 to 486 B.C., expanding the empire. Xerxes I, the son of Darius, reigned from 486 to 465 B.C. Herodotus, known as the "Father of History," wrote about these figures and their times, providing historical context. Thus, the correct order is 1 (Cyrus) 2 (Darius) 3 (Xerxes) 4 (Herodotus). Thus, the correct order is 1 2 3 4.
